There’s a commonly held perception among ACC fans wearing colors other than Carolina blue – and some members of the media – that North Carolina quarterback Bryn Renner will suffer because of the loss of star running back Giovani Bernard.

Mayock said that Renner was among the most impressive of the 35-40 college quarterbacks serving as counselors at the Manning Passing Academy in Louisiana last week.

“I thought he probably is the most polished of all the quarterbacks I saw,” Mayock said on the show NFL AM on Monday. “(He’s got) great feet, bigger kid than I thought – 6-3, 220 – (the) ball comes out beautifully. His father is a highly recognized high school coach, so it doesn’t surprise me that he is so polished.”

Mayock also had praise for Miami’s Stephen Morris, who like Renner, is getting ready to enter his senior season.

“I thought he threw a beautiful football,” Mayock said. “He’s got a big arm. He won the ‘Air It Out’ challenge, which they do on the final night there, which is a test of accuracy. Stephen Morris has got great mechanics.”

The college coaches in attendance spend most of their time working with younger quarterbacks at the camp, but they get their chance to shine on the first and last days of the camp in passing competitions with camp hosts Peyton and Eli Manning.

Among the other ACC quarterbacks participating last week was Duke junior Anthony Boone.
